## Wine making process

The Quarisa Chardonnayburk 2024 is produced using 100% Chardonnay grapes from South Eastern Australia. Following mechanical harvesting in early morning hours, the grapes are gently pressed. The resulting must is chilled and clarified before undergoing fermentation at low temperatures in stainless steel tanks to preserve freshness. The wine is then briefly aged before filtration and bottling. Quarisa Wines emphasizes sustainability, utilizing 500ml aluminum cans for packaging, which are 100% recyclable and contribute to a lower environmental impact.
